) Come here sir! (There being no response whatever, he suddenly glances up at Naarnan; stares curiously, and instantly becomes silent. Then he makes a low bow, as if in mock obeisance, but in reality, because he wishes to conceal the fact that he is on the verge of fright. Naaman leans forward, looks at Chesil earnestly and kindly, then speaks, slowly and sadly. ) NAAMAN Knowest thou what trouble is, Chesil? Hast thou ever stood in darkness so dense it might be felt around thee? When an ill-tim...ed word stung thee like the bite of an adder? Hast thou ever known the mo ment when a touch of easy sympathy burnt like a live coal? There s not an atom of unkindness or rebuke in my heart for thee, Chesil, for thine is a useful and a kind ly calling, to amuse and divert men in times of stress. Thou canst lighten the burden of grave affairs but, tell me this, Chesil; knowest thou an art with which to light en affairs of the grave? Thou art a man, Chesil, a kindly, human man, and the bubblings of thy innocent mirth have often revealed to me the inward gentleness of thy nature, but now, what thou canst feel but cannot even try to say, will help me more than any uttered word, for I stand upon the spot where human help and human hope lie dead and buried.
